guest cottage

Small separate dwelling

A guest cottage is a small, separate dwelling on the same property as a main residence, used for hosting visitors.

Unlike a guest room inside the house, a guest cottage offers privacy and independence: The guest cottage has its own kitchen and bathroom.

The term suggests something quaint or rustic, typically on estates or vacation properties.
